Lyrical Response

[muppy]

In your eyes
The light the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your eyes

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

Madman, drummers, bummers
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps
As the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin', sneezin' and wheezin'
The calliope crashed to the ground

It happened one summer, it happened one time
It happened forever, for a short time
A place for a moment, an end to dream
Forever I loved you, forever it seemed

 

One summer never ends, one summer never began
It keeps me standing still, it takes all my will
And then suddenly last summer

[PastaJoe]

She swam by me, she got a cramp
He ran by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off, splashing around
Summer sun, something's begun
But ah! Oh, the summer nights
Well-a, well-a, well-a, huh

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high

Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin'

So hush, little baby, don't you cry

One of these mornings
You gonna rise up singin'

Yes, you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

Mm, but 'til that morning
There is nothin' can harm you
Yes, with daddy and mommy standin' by

Summertime and the livin' is easy

Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high

Oh, your daddy's rich (daddy's rich)
And your ma is good lookin' (your ma is good lookin')
So hush, little baby, baby don't you cry

[Bills4everNY]

His boss said to him

Boy, you'd better begin 

To get those crazy notions right out of your head

Sammy, who do you think that you are?

You should've been sweeping up the Emerald Bar

Spread your wings and fly away

Fly away, far away 

[Joe Ferguson forever]

From where you are
You see the smoke start to arise
Where they play cards
And you walk over
Softly moving passed the guards
The stakes are getting higher
You can feel it in your heart
He calls you bluff
He is the ace you never thought
He played that much
And now it's more than all this cards
You want to touch
You never know if winning this
Could really be enough

Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feeling better, when I'm feeling no pain
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs

Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winning, when I'm losing again

[WhoTom]

I'd gladly lose me to find you
I'd gladly give up all I had
To find you I'd suffer anything and be glad

[LeviF]

Once in a lifetime
The suffering of fools
To find our way home
To break in these bones
Once in a lifetime

Oh, give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious

[DD4Bills]

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

[muppy]

A moment like this, some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
Some people search forever for that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this

[WhoTom]

I can't believe you're saying
These things just can't be true
Our world could use this beauty
Just think what we might do

[Bill from NYC]

I don't miss the funky attitudes
And I don't miss the fights
I lie on the couch 'til suppertime
And hunker down and read the Post
And that's when I remember the things I miss the most

 

The talk
The sex
Somebody to trust
The Audi TT
The house on the Vineyard
The house on the Gulf Coast
These are the things I miss the most

[PastaJoe]

Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, white boy
Lay down that boogie
And play that funky music 'til you die

[WhoTom]

Then I learned to play some lead guitar
I was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside to smoke myself a "J"

[LeviF]

I never learned to read or write so well 
But I can play the guitar until it hurts like hell
Standing at the edge of the world
Is giving me the chills
Looking down the edge of the world
I'm lost in a tango, it's freaking me out
Burning lights and blackouts

[Bill from NYC]

I remember, the thirty-five sweet goodbyes
When you put me on the Wolverine up to Annandale
It was still September
When your daddy was quite surprised
To find you with the working girls in the county jail
I was smoking with the boys upstairs when I
Heard about the whole affair

 

I said oh no
William and Mary won't do

Well I did not think the girl
Could be so cruel
And I'm never going back
To my old school

Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know that your baby boy
Will calm the storm with his hand?

(Left a good job down in the city)
Nice and easy
But there's just one thing, you see (workin' for the man every night and day)
We never ever do nothin'
(But I never lost one minute of sleepin') nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
(Worryin' 'bout the way that things might've been)
And we're gonna take the beginning of this song and do it easy
(Big wheel keep on turnin')
But then we're gonna do the finish rough
(Proud Mary keep on burnin') this is the way we do "Proud Mary"
